Police remind residents about 988, free resource for people experiencing mental health-related distress

Wake Forest Police are reminding residents about 988 – the national suicide and crisis lifeline - following a weekend incident involving an individual experiencing a mental health crisis.

Just after 4 p.m. Sunday, March 3, police received a call from a person threatening suicide while driving along South Main Street/US 1A. Officers located and followed the vehicle to a downtown parking lot. Police negotiators then spent several hours talking to the individual, who was eventually transported unharmed to a local hospital.

Police say Sunday’s incident presents an opportunity to remind residents about 988 – the three-digit nationwide phone number that connects directly to the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline.

In 2022 the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline was changed from a 10-digit number to 988. The number makes it easier for callers to connect with trained crisis counselors who can help people having suicidal thoughts, experiencing emotional distress, or having a substance-use-related crisis. People can call or text 988 for themselves or if they are worried about a loved one who may need crisis support.

You do not need to be in crisis or suicidal to call 988 and speak with a counselor. The free service is available at all hours, day, or night, for anyone who needs support.

• Homebuyer Workshop - This eight-hour workshop is based on a comprehensive curriculum developed by NeighborWorks® America and is delivered by DHIC and guest speakers. Currently the workshop is offered in two, four-hour virtual sessions on two consecutive Saturdays. Classes are offered monthly. Workshop schedule is listed on the DHIC website.

Wake Forest Police warn residents of Apple Pay scam

The Wake Forest Police Department (WFPD) is urging residents to guard against becoming the victim of fraud following recently reported phone scams involving Apple Pay.

Residents who were recently involved in a traffic accident have reported receiving calls from someone posing as a Wake Forest Police officer who claims they owe money for missing a subsequent court date. The caller says a warrant has been issued for their arrest, or soon will be, but they can pay a fine now via Apple Pay and avoid being arrested.

The WFPD does not make these types of calls and would never ask anyone to make a payment via Apple Pay or any other payment app. These types of scams are designed to exploit fear and pressure victims into making payments to scammers.

WF Power launches new OMS featuring one number to report outages & other issues

Wake Forest Power (WFP) recently implemented a new Outage Management System (OMS) that utilizes one phone number to make reporting power outages and other issues easier. The new OMS will also allow WFP to introduce an online outage map later this year.

Featuring Interactive Voice Response (IVR), WFP’s new automated phone system allows customers to dial 919-435-9478 to report a power outage, make a payment, start/stop service, reconnect electric service, and report a street light outage.

Previously, customers had to call a different number to report outages. WFP officials say having one number for customers to call 24 hours a day simplifies the outage reporting process and enhances the overall customer experience.

Later this year, WFP will introduce an outage map on the Town of Wake Forest website (wakeforestnc.gov). The tool will assist in keeping WFP customers informed of outages and the status of those outages.

It will make the process for responding to calls for artists more efficient by providing access to a predetermined network of qualified professional artists. The registry will also strengthen and streamline PAC efforts by maintaining a database of artists with specific skill sets.



Artists and artist teams may apply at any time but must be pre-qualified to be considered for public art opportunities with the Town of Wake Forest.

Wake Forest ROCKS!

A lively community, with heartwarming service and rich recreation opportunities are just a few of the reasons why Wake Forest ROCKS!

Wake Forest Disc Golf Course

Wake Forest's new disc golf course is open year-round for free use to the public Monday-Friday from 4 p.m.-dusk, and Saturdays and Sundays from dawn to dusk.

The rules for disc golf are similar to traditional golf by way of scoring and etiquette. Standing on what is generally a five-foot by 12-foot concrete tee pad, a player aims their disc towards a disc golf basket that’s placed from distances between 150 to 570 feet from the tee pads.

These discs differ from non-competitive discs in that they have a thinner profile and a sharper outer edge to increase aerodynamics and distance. Different discs are used for different parts of the course.

Just like with mainstream golf, the idea is to complete the course in the fewest throws.

#RecycleRightWF

In 2021, the Town of Wake Forest launched #RecycleRightWF, a comprehensive public education campaign on proper recycling behaviors. Through a series of easy-to-understand messages, the initiative attempted to simplify the recycling process and improve the quality of materials residents place in their rollout recycling carts.

Thanks to the invaluable cooperation and efforts of residents, Wake Forest recorded a significant decrease in recycling contamination over the next year.



In recent months, however, officials have noticed a steady increase in the number of contaminated recyclables in recycling carts throughout Wake Forest. As a result, the Town is reintroducing #RecycleRightWF.

The effort will address contamination by providing Wake Forest households with direct mail pieces, social media messaging, and concentrated feedback. Messaging will consistently remind residents who recycle to “Stick with These 6” - plastic bottles, jugs, and jars; metal cans; paper; and cardboard, and “Never These 9” - plastic bags, food waste, cups, to-go containers, paper towels, tiny things, plastic packaging, Styrofoam, and gloves/masks.
